Job Description
Medical imaging technologies
Technologies used in medical imaging include those belonging to the field of radiography. X-ray and CT scans are powerful tools, but because of ionizing radiation, they must be used sparingly. Ionizing radiation carries with it risk of cancers, cataracts, cellular mutation and abnormal development in fetuses. MRIs -- including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) -- offer reduced risks and no ionizing radiation. Ultrasound, using ultrasonic vibrations to create images, represents one of the safest forms of medical imaging.
The use of surface-mounted sensors to measure electrical activity is another safe form of medical imaging and is used in electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG) -- though these technologies produce a change over time graph rather than a graphical image.
In a number of medical imaging technologies artificial intelligence (AI) is enhancing the ability to interpret and analyze results. Computer vision is being used to visually diagnose conditions not yet visible to the human eye.
Who uses medical imaging
A radiographer -- also known as a medical imaging technologist or radiology technologist -- is responsible for administering medical imaging procedures. Radiographers are university-trained with thorough knowledge of the body's structure and how it is affected by different diseases and injuries. They can specialize in the procedures mentioned above -- including MRIs and CT scans -- as well as in areas such as:
